Introvert and Extrovert Personality Test – Are You An Innie or Outtie?

Below is a personality test I’ve designed to help determine whether you’re an introvert or extrovert. The questions are based on proven research associated with introversion and extroversion.

There are no right or wrong answers. The quiz discovers your personality so you can better approach how you socialize, talk, and enjoy life. Your introverted or extroverted personality impacts your ability to build friends and influence people in ways you probably cannot comprehend.

Have fun with the quiz! I hope you learn a lot.

I have taken the test twice and got labelled with the two [Inie and Outie] . In my opinion I do carry traces of both.
Is something like this possible ? Am actually a talkative amoung friends and shy away from starting a conversation with strangers of the oppossite sex .

According to this test I’m an introvert which I think its true but sometimes I tend to be very social..its like if was super popular and then back to my old self..and then back to popular. Is that unhealthy? 😐

weird on these tests I ALWAYS get extrovert, but I really think I’m truly a mix of the two! Just because I like parties, im an extrovert. however when I’m around people I don’t really know, I’m super quiet!!!! but I am kind of crazy and loud…

Accurate I suppose, but I seriously detest this:
“Discover how you with an introvert-extrovert balanced personality can be more popular, sociable, and make friends with this simple guide developed by a former shy introvert…”
I’m unsure if you’re discouraging shyness or introversion, but if it’s the latter then shame on you. Introversion is not a god-damned sin for christ’s sake. F***** extroverts…

You’re neither introverted or extroverted! You have a balanced personality. Maybe you’re in the later half of your life. It’s quite common to be balanced in introversion and extroversion as you age.

Hi, I got an introvert, which is consistent with some other tests I’ve taken, wherein I’ve been labeled INTP, but I have some skepticism about that because a lot of these types of questions are too vague in their context for me to answer. So let me just point out some issues I was having and maybe someone can help me out with this.

Question 1- It really depends on the circumstances of the party really: if I was drinking, when did I leave, how many people were at the party.. The question is very vague, so I really don’t know how to answer it.

Question 2- When you say “meet” a stranger, is this written in the way that I’ve already been introduced vicariously through a close friend of mine, or an absolute stranger at a party? It would depend on one of those for me to know for sure how I would approach this scenario.

Question 7- I am not sure if I get bored from any of those things. Drained would be a preferred term to use, in my humble opinion.

As I have always known I’m a introvert. I have social anxiety as well. This test and it is just that a test was accurate about me. To all the people who don’t understand introverts. We are not shy. At least I’m not. I just don’t like being around a group of people. I prefer my small group of close friends. I enjoy alone time grooming my horse. That does not make me anti social. I get so tired of hearing that. Relationships are very difficult because no one seems to understand introverts such as myself need their personal space.
